Campsites for hikers in Powys

·

In Powys, hiking is serious business, and over 218 campsites put you right at the trailhead. You’ll find sites where footpaths wind through sheep-dotted hills, forests echo with birdsong, and rocky outcrops open up to long, wild views. Pack your boots—Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews) is a local favourite for its riverside pitches and easy access to well-marked trails. If you want a rural spot with direct access to open fields, Pwllyn Farm Camping (117 reviews) delivers. Prefer woodland hikes? Pytingwyn Woods (70 reviews) lets you wake up under a canopy of old oaks. Campfires are allowed at many sites—just check the rules—plus toilets and showers come standard. After a long walk, cool off with a swim, cast a fishing line, or saddle up for horseback riding. Prices start as low as £9 a night, with an average closer to £100, so there’s something for every budget.

Welshpool, Wales · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Guests to Rhos y Gallt describe the campsite as a little gem of a site - small, quite and tranquil with wonderful sunsets. The site can accommodate up to 5 caravans and 10 tents situated ​on a level 2 acre site within the beautiful rolling hills of Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up. There is also a field bordering a river which is used for wild camping - but you'll have to share it with the sheep! The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). ​Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit). ​We were delighted to receive a nomination for The Camping and Caravanning Club Best Hideaway Site in 2021 and grateful to our wonderful guests for the nomination. ​

With the Brecon Beacons National Park in the south of the county and Snowdonia National Park on its north-eastern edge, this is a landscape that begs to be explored. It’s little wonder then that camping and glamping are popular ways to stay here. It’s a region of mountains and heather moorland, rivers, wooded valleys and waterfalls. It’s also home to quaint Welsh villages and fascinating towns including literature-loving Hay-on-Wye and the food hub of Abergavenny. Whether you're looking for a place to pitch a one-man tent while you're on the trail, a family-friendly site that's great for kids or an upscale glamping getaway, our Powys collection has got it covered.
